Tabs not resizing properly

Just added the 'ANGLE' parameter to some tab pages and noticed that resizing does not work properly with the angle set. You can shrink a page properly, but expanding horizontally does not increase the tab size. See sample program below. If you comment out the angle argument on tab #1, resizing works...

Re: Southwest Xbase++ 2014: Call for Speakers (reminder)

Cliff When they finally release 2.0 then I will probably find reasons to participate again. It is my hope that we will all still be alive and able to maintain our code bases that long. I have maintained my subscription to the Alaska product even though a new usable product has not been released for...

Re: Southwest Xbase++ 2014: Call for Speakers (reminder)

How about an eXpress++ wine tasting?

Cliff had a lot of good ideas. -- The use of SQL through eXpress++ would be a valuable presentation.

Re: spell checking

Brian, I dug out my original MicroPro WordStar disks, but I do not have an 8" Drive to read them since the drives on my Xerow 820 computer died a few years ago. I guess you will need to find another solution. (The WordStar, and CalcStar disks came as a set from a prize package I won at the 1983 Comd...

In other words: 2.0. will be delivered right after hell has frozen. :twisted:
Hi Tom,

Perhaps the name 'Alaska' and the Polar Bear are appropriate!

End of the world

Since the world will end tomorrow, I though it would be a good idea to say good-bye.

Oops! I just spoke with my son in Korea, it is already tomorrow there, and all seems to be ok? I guess we may survive for another day.

Re: New function: DC_DimScreen()

Very cool routine Roger. I have one prompt that really needed the operators attention, setting the desktop dim color to red grabs the full attention of even the least attentive operator!

Thanks,

Re: simulate pressing the F2

The object needs to be the object receiving the keyboard events. If you do not have multiple event handlers, just try: ACTION {||PostAppEvent(xbeP_Keyboard,xbeK_F2)} This sends the event to the appWindow (The value of a SetAppWindow() call). Otherwise you need to pass the object that will receive th...

Re: 2011-11-07 Xbase++ 2.0 roadmap revised!

Bruce, We are planning on releasing a new version of our app (compiled in 355 with express 254) after new years. That leads to a few questions and issues: If you have a version nearing the end of testing and almost ready for release, go with it. Waiting for Alaska, (or any tool vendor), with the ide...
